AGATHA CHRISTIE

Queen of crime.

Agatha Christie is one of the most popular and successful mystery writers in history. According to her publisher, her stories of crime and murder are outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare.

Stories aren’t the beauty of what did happen.

They’re the beauty of what could happen.

For that reason, you’ll never forget when you read a great book.

And that’s why I’ll never forget this woman.

When I was ten, I picked up her novel Murder at the Vicarage.

It was the first murder mystery I’d ever read.

To this day, I still don’t know what a vicarage is. And I don’t want to.

Back then, all I cared about was that on those pages … there was a body.

A dead body.

How’d it get there?

Why’d it happen?

And the most vital question of all: Whodunit?

I’ve been asking that question ever since.

It was the first great book I remember reading.

But Agatha Christie isn’t amazing because she influenced me to be a mystery writer …

She’s amazing because she’s proof of how a well-told story can change someone’s life.

The young people think the old people are fools—but the old people know the young people are fools.
